The keyboard does not function when i try to input my pass word, so it now as if the keyboards ain't functioning again but i can assure you they keyboard are okay. I'm just stuck at the sign in page.
For antivirus, i already have Windows defender.
Then plug in an external keyboard before you turn on the computer . That should work. You can also try using the on-screen board.

Hey Everyone!

I'm on Windows 10 and my defender has been indicating virus on my PC but i kept on postponing the running of full scan because of lack of electricity at my end. Symptoms include ;

PC become very slow to boot up and also Loading of programs. I think i lost some files. Sometimes some keys do not respond which i get resolved by restarting .


The problem not is whenever i switch on my PC, I'm unable to type in my password (all keyboard buttons are working perfectly well). So i'm stuck at log in.

What should I do and is it my PC has crashed?
what reply do you get when you input your password?
is it password incorrect? or logon failed?
Your best solution is likely by using a third-party software to clear the password. Then back up all your files in an external HDD. Format your system HDD and reload with a new OS. Then install and activate antivirus in your new OS. Then scan your files and documents before bringing them back into your system. If you need someone to help you do this . Chat me up on mobile.

Pls my laptop hp keyboard shortcuts doesn't work at all pls nd ur help cry cry cry
By this I guess some keys are working and some are not. Restart your computer and observe if any changes. If problem persists, Take out battery and unplug charger. loose out the keyboard (do this only if you know how to) and observe if keyboard flex is damaged or worn out especially at the flex contact point with the board.
if not replace the keyboard and turn on your laptop.
This should work 90% of the time.

Good day,
pls can u pls breakdown d step to take in download new avast antivirus because d previous one my system seems to hv expired and which one is d best anti virus to install on laptop?
Thank you.
Any of the popular antivirus will do but a premium account is the best.

Before you download another antivirus in your system, uninstall the one there first.

I recommend Malwarebytes Anti-malware. Use Google search to search and download from the developers site.

Help: Unknown Application Running

Please, I need assistance on this issue I started noticing in the early hours of today.

Whenever I try shutting down my PC, just before it shuts down, it brings out a notice that an application is currently running and preventing the PC from shutting down properly with an option to either cancel the shut down and go back to close the application normally or continue the shut down which forces the application to close on it own.

This should be normal if indeed I have an application running but the issue is, I don't have any programme open or running before attempting to shut down and neither does the notice tell me the name of the application that's running in background and the application icon is unknown.

I notice that my PC takes some time to boot and I guess the application might equally be responsible for this and my programmes take longer time to open when double-click on. Also, the speed of my cooling fan is running faster even when I'm not running any application or heavy application.

Also, my battery life has reduced. Normally, when fully charged, and if I move my mouse to the battery sign, I get 5 hours of usage even though it will last for 3 hours. But now, it shows 2 hours and last less even on 100% charge.

All these started when I did the following;

1. Defragment my hard drive.
2. Crack a version of Utorrent.
3. Install Google Chrome.

PC is HP Elitebook 8480p.
Go to your search menu and type defrag, navigate and click on defragment and optimize your drives, in the next menu , under scheduled optimization, click on " turn off" . The scheduled optimization which runs in the background maybe responsible.

if this isn't responsible, then you must have downloaded a program from one these dubious sites which tricks you into downloading their PUPs and adware by offering you a free application.
Check your installed programs and remove any app you didn't authorize.

My laptop just trip of and all efforts to power is to no avail I just installed pdf converter before this happens. If power it the Power light will just stay a bit n off without booting I checked the power park n battery n they still ok. Please wat cld cause this, my mind is telling me that my hard disk ve crashed. Pls I need ur suggestions. Thanks
Its not your hard drive that caused it .

Quickly do this, remove the battery and charger from the system. Press and hold down the power button for like 30 seconds. Plug in the charger only, now turn on the system. Do that and let's see what happens.

Thank you. Few others connect. Apart from the wifi ish. when my laptop boot up to login screen my trackpad won't work I've to press any key on keyvoard before the mouse starts working. I uninstalled the keyboard and mouse drivers the problem got solved but the mouse becomes slow. Any help?
Since you have uninstalled the driver, you need to drive it again. Download a new driver or Get driver pack solution from those guys selling software and use it to drive it.

You may also try reloading the system with a new OS and then drive the system with driver pack solution 15 or 16. This should take care of all the problems put together.

Good Evening. My hp15 core i3 laptop can see wireless network that is in the next room but cannot connect to it unless I bring the mifi device closer. Plus, I've tried updating the drivers by device manager, Windows update, hp official site, yet it's not giving me any latest driver update.
Weird observation! Well this is an issue of distance between your mifi device and your laptop.

First try connecting another device such as another laptop or a phone to your mifi and compare the distance at which it connects. This way you will be able to know if the problem is coming from your laptop or the mifi signal .
